Reggae Inspired Workout- Brukwine (Review)

 

I’m the kind of girl that needs a fun workout. I get bored with the same old gym routine but I love the euphoric feeling you get after an awesome workout, so I was thrilled when I came across Brukwine– a reggae/dancehall inspired workout. Immediately I was interested! Sexy moves that burn up to 1000 calories in 1 workout. Yup, sign me up.

More on Brukwine: It was created in 2012 by 2 amazingly talented dancers: Autavia (Tavia) Bailey and Tamara Marrow, who have been dancing for YEARS. After doing some additional research, I found out that they use to dance with Sean Paul in many of his vids (check them out doing there thing in Sean’s “Temperature“). They’ve also danced with Beyonce, Lady Gaga, Rihanna and more.

I decided to give the class a try last Thursday and it was INCREDIBLE. The workout is intense and fun. You work your entire body while listening to the best reggae/dancehall music. The instructors are so nice and encouraging. There’s a great vibe with your fellow classmates, too. I even met one of my followers in the class.

The sold out class started at 7:45pm on Thursday (click here and here for the February schedule). First we went into a warmup and then the routine started. We learned basic moves and incorporated it into an awesome and sexy routine. The instructors are great at showing you everything so you definitely get the hang of it. By the end of the class, we were all covered in sweat and feeling mazing. I mean, I went home feeling incredible and full of energy – and it was 9pm. And I thought I wasn’t an evening workout person. I was so excited to come home and tell my husband, Obi all about it. (I even showed him the routine lol).

The next day my legs and abs were sore. YES! It’s the best feeling to enjoy your workout and see awesome results, after just the first class. I had tons of energy the next morning, and I’m usually a little groggy. I give Brukwine 5 stars! It’s intense and fun, and I can’t wait for the next class tomorrow. Check them out here and on Instagram! Right now Brukwine is in New York- NYC and expanding to Queens and Brooklyn but they are also coming to LA very soon. 


Tips: Things to bring to Brukwine:

-A towel. The class is HOT literally. It helps you sweat + burn calories. 

-A big bottle of water

-Sneakers (or heels). If you’re new to the class, like me- you may be more comfortable in sneakers .

Thanks Tamara and Tavia! #brukwinenation xo.Joy.
